Plaid Supplies:
FolkArt Acrylic Paint-481 Aqua, FolkArt Acrylic Paint-938 Licorice, FolkArt Acrylic Paint-429 White, Mod Podge
Other Supplies:
Unfinished wood plaque 9 ½” X 6 ½”, Cardstock, Father’s day subway art download
Instructions:
- Paint two coats of aqua paint over the entire front of the wood plaque.
- Once the aqua paint is dry, add lines of white & black paint. Follow the curves of the plaque. Use painter’s tape to get clean lines.
- Download and print the subway art onto cardstock. Print it out to a 5” x 7” size. Trim to fit your plaque.
- Using Mod Podge, adhere the subway art print to the front of the plaque. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the back of the art. Make sure your coverage reaches all the way to the edges of the paper. Carefully place the art onto the plaque and smooth out with a brayer.
- Coat the entire front surface of the plaque with Mod Podge. Apply at least two thin coats, allowing it to dry between coats. Use a foam brush to avoid brush marks.
Project Tip:
Ink jet printers and ink are all different. Allow your printed art‘s ink to dry completely before using Mod Podge on it. You may want to print a test copy, allow it to dry, and then brush on a layer of Mod Podge to make sure the letters won’t smear. If they do smear, take your art print to your local copy shop and make a print there. Professional copy machines typically use toner, not ink, and this usually results in a more steadfast image.
